Summarising here but there are some comparisons to be had with the England Team and Everton.

England teams gone by -
Can’t do it under pressure, when it counts.
Players feel the weight of fan expectation.
History of successful teams used as a pedestal to compare current players against.
Bottle it against their main rivals
Fans disengaged from players.
Polarising decisions from those at the top
Poor recruitment of coaching staff
Faith in past it big names who lack motivation

Suddenly - Gareth Southgate gets the job, and reverses a lot of the fear both in fans beginning to believe and in player’s confidence, improves team spirit and backs youth to deliver.

Shows that with the right strategy, and all believing in it, that an underdog, or a written off sleeping giant, can suddenly put a run together to make people fear them and make tons of waning fans want to support positively again and believe they can win the highest of honours.

The nations with the better players, the reputations for being bigger and more successful have all fell away, and the teams with the best spirit and ethic have prevailed.

Leceister went on a mad run out of no where with a lower league no mark in Vardy,
England went on a mad run with a no cap holding young North Eastern Goalie, who also toughed it out in lower leagues as part of his development, to assist in this teams progress too.

I think what I’m asking is - if you think England can now win the World Cup then do you think it’s possible that Everton can win the league this year?

Eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no comment.

What England approach? They got a last minute winner against Tunisia, thumped the might of Panama, won on penalties against the 16th ranked team in the world, and beat the 24th best team in the world. They then lost against the 3rd and 20th best teams in the world. It's a cup competition so luck of the draw plays a big part, and they did well in the circumstances they were presented with, but all of this nonsense about us suddenly being world class is crazy.
 
basically this, England are average/decent (by international standards) with a top top striker. If Everton had one we would straight away challenge top 4 IMO. IM not talking about Lukaku standard btw, he's proved himself to be at least a level below Kane and his peers at this world cup

Has Kane really showed that? He got 5 of his 6 goals against Tunisia and Panama, with his other goal a penalty. In open play I'd say he's been some way below the form he's shown for Spurs.

after last night I might have to agree with you....he should have scored that chance!
 

kane was playing as a number 6 last night for some odd reason, just bizzare the way England set up yesterday

heavily relied on set pieces for the whole cup and can only think of lingards goal against panama that wasn't a result of a set piece, they got the nation going an all that but they were just as poor as they normally are just got the luck of playing absolutely no one half decent

pickford had a boss world cup though
 
..the reality is England lost to the only two decent teams they faced.

Southgate has fostered a very good spirit but the team lack real quality in the top third.
Sticking with players who obviously were not up to the standard required (Young Alli Sterling) was all a bit Martinez.
